In reply to can you help me? Wellbutrin XL, posted by spriggy on August 15, 2006, at 0:34:32
> I am going to talk with my dr. in the next week about getting on an antidepressent.
>
> If you recall, I had a horrible experience with Lexapro about 2 years ago.
>
> I tried Wellbutrin once but I quit out of fear of the side effects ( I have finally quit reading the side effects profile and giving myself all the symptoms, ROFL)..
>
> Here is my questions:
>
> 1) I took Wellbutrin 2 years ago one time on a Wednesday morning- on that Friday night ( 2 days later) I had a horrific panic attack ( but a lot was going on in my life that was traumatic) and then spent 5 days not eating and hardly sleeping.
>
> I always related this to the Wellbutrin but lately I've been wondering if it could even be possible to have a reaction over 2 days later or if it was simply the trauma at the time in my life and my physical illness instead???
>
> AND, since I had such a bad time on SSRI's ( became suicidal) I am really concerned to go that route again.
>
> I have read that Wellbutrin does help some people with low energy ( and I have fibromyalgia) and even some fibromayglia support forums say that Wellbutrin has helped with the pain associated w/fibro as well.
>
> I have horrificly low energy right now, unmotivated and have been slipping the past few weeks into a depression.
>
> I am crying several times a day, feel a lot of guilt and hopelessness, and am unmotivated.
>
> These were my signs before when I fell into depression.
>
> I'm also feeling very angry/resentful over stupid things' that I know are unreasonable.
>
> I know that I need to do something and get some help before this gets worse.
>
> I have two children, one is autistic, and my husband is a pastor. I can't afford to be this way with all that is on my plate.
>
> So... Wellbutrin XL is my first prospect to speak with my dr about.
>
> Any thoughts????
>
> Well I take it, and it has in the past (I'm not doing so hot right now, due to life events, and a reaction to one of my other meds), brought me out of a deep depression, and helped regulate my sleep. I think its a good drug.
